Greek Salad with Tofu Feta

09/13/2015 by Sara 5 Comments

greek salad with tofu feta

This Greek salad features a simple vegan “feta” that’s made with tofu. Because the tofu marinates in lots of delicious herbs and seasonings, it acquires a bold, salty flavor that’s perfect in this classic recipe.

I love the powerful combination of savory feta, bitter olives, spicy pepperoncini, sharp red onion and refreshing lemon over crunchy vegetables.

This salad makes a great light dinner, with the calcium, protein and iron-rich tofu. For an additional boost, add a 15-ounce can of rinsed, drained chickpeas. Or, serve with toasted pita and store-bought hummus.
